Fossey left Africa in 1970 to complete work for a doctorate at the University of Cambridge in England.

The world is a better place because of dian fossey because she informed people that gorillas are not so harmful. She also wanted to tell people that the world can be a better place because of gorillas. Another thing is she made a movie and a book about gorillas. The book and the movie have the same title. They are both called ""Gorillas in the Mist".
She spent about 18 years studying Gorillas in Rwanda. She did extensive work in trying to protect Gorillas and to The film "Gorillas in the Mist" was made about her. She wrote a book of the same name.
She did much research on the mountain gorilla, and eventually was murdered in her cabin, by unknown people. Poachers were blamed, but large amounts of cash and valuables found at the scene suggest poachers were not to blame, for they would have taken the cash. She wrote a successful book, "Gorillas In The Mist", which was made into a movie starring Sigourney Weaver. The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund is named in her honor.
not that i know of but she made up karisoke which is where she worked and lived
Yes she did. I worked with the UN during the genocide and was in country from late 1994 through mid 1996. It's been almost 20 years since I was there, but on a visit with some friends I had made at the US embassy in Rwanda to check-up on an American woman who lived in northern Rwanda, I was introduced to Sembargare who was one of the caretakers/leaders at an orphanage ran by the American woman at her house. As the visit was mainly to check on the American woman (and the orphanage), we really didn't talk too much about Dian Fossey, but as he was being introduced to me, he did acknowledge working with Ms Fossey. The American woman had been a friend of Dian Fossey and her and her ivy-covered home were in National Geographic's coverage of Dian Fossey. Also, the American woman (played by an actress) and her home were in the movie "Gorillas in the Mist". Sembagare was an older gentleman when I met him, but remember him as being well-dressed, very friendly and with a good sense of humor.
Dian Fossey
Well his name is Dr. Luois Leaky but he is someone that Dian Fossey met and he influenced her to study mountain gorillas. Which she then made the Karisoke Research Center.

she researched gorillas in Zaire and rwanda, and became the first person in recorded history to have skin ti skin contact with a moutnain gorilla. she was murdered in 1985, possibly by poachers.
Gorillas sleep in nests made of leaves and branches.
She made more people respect the habitat of the animals. also helped us realize that we need to not judge animals for what they look like or what myths have said about them.
